addendum

I posted earlier that there were other areas that were marked with green car/bike share lanes. I am wrong and confused other green markings as the new share lane markings. I recently road on the new lanes and was pleasantly surprised. Especially that area between main st. and 2nd east where Galvan plaza takes up two usable lanes with n underground parking lane. I'm sure though that the casual biker will be intimidated by this action of frequenting the middle of the street. There is a certain level of confidence that most do not have that would allow them to back up their actions amid motorists. Offensive driving is far safer than defensive when thrown in the mix with motorists. To put it simple the faster you go the less likely you'll piss off a motorist, who will then try to past you with the emphasis of volting the number one. The lane is a big step toward integration between the two sects of transportation. The only step left is to educate and integrate the rest of downtown Salt Lake.
